‘Little’ Deniz Öncü with a double win at Aragon in the celebration of his brother Can

The Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup took in Aragon this weekend the last two races of the season, with Deniz Öncü winning on both occasions and securing second place in the championship, behind brother Can, who had secured the title already.

The 15 year old won his second race of the year in the first moto, beating local hero Xavi Artigas. Filip Salač, 16, started the race with the same points as Deniz but bad luck was cruel and Salač crashed when Meikon Kawakami lost control of his bike. The podium went to Öncü, Artigas and Carlos Tatay.
